i hear natives use the word "levantar" for picking up something or someone. However, my book uses the word "escoger" for picking up something or someone. Which one should i follow?

Hmm...the words "levantar" and "escoger" are not even closely related.

Did you mean "recoger" as in "I have to go pick up my kids from school?"

Escoger means to choose between two or more things. Levantar is more appropriate for picking something up, I would think.
